Abstract
An auxiliary photographic lens and lens holder bracket for an existing portable cellular phone having a camera function therein. The square U-shaped lens holder bracket straddles the body of the cellular phone positioning the auxiliary lens over the built-in camera lens of the existing cellular telephone. The lens cylinder has a threaded end which screws into a threaded opening in the front of the bracket and against the cell phone case around the built-in lens to secure the lens to the cell phone. The lens holder alternately serves as a protective storage device for the lens when it is not in use with the lens cylinder screwed into the cross piece of the bracket. The lens may be a telephoto lens, a wide angle lens, a filter, or alternately a zoom or adjustable lens.
